In the same spirit, I would argue that what happened twenty years ago in Europe and Russia and what may be happening now in Iran – regime change – is where we are now in Anglicanism. The old currency has been so debased that only a new currency base, which requires a new economic and political order, will suffice.<br /><br />That is why I have supported ACNA, because I see no way that the corrupt regime can be changed. In terms of church property law, the South Carolina decision is probably a one-off (SC has always been a bit backward-looking). In terms of the Covenant, I think TEC will refuse to allow dioceses to adopt it, even if that were permitted by the Communion.<br /><br />On the Communion level, I think the deliberate action of the Lambeth bureaucracy over the past 12 years involves a similar debasing. What part of No in Lambeth Resolution 1.10 did TEC and ACoC not hear? Yet here we are, with Katherine Schori and Ian Douglas happily sitting on the “Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion.” The moral equivalence of equating violation of permanent sexual norms and of temporary reactive territorial interventions is another prime example of debasing the truth. This is also why I support GAFCON/FCA, because ultimately the constitution of the Communion will have to be reformed, or there will be a regime change emerging from the Global South.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033847986593883350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-17513580299144823322009-12-29T17:49:27.832-08:002009-12-29T17:49:27.832-08:00I'm trying to get the corner on the handbasket...I'm trying to get the corner on the handbasket market.
